    Fort Point

    Fort Point

    I just love this shot. It looks fake, huh? It’s not. I’m not sure I could ever get that shot again. The lighting was perfect and the fog was just right – not too much, not too little. This photo is totally original and unchanged.

    You can take a bus ride from downtown, which is cheap and doesn’t take that long … maybe 30 – 45 minutes, with a transfer near Union Street, which could be a side trip on the way back. Ask your bus driver.

    The bus takes you to the bridge and Fort Point is below the bridge and easy to find and get to. It’s all fun, and very worthile. There’s a lot more than this photo shows; so take time to explore. This was the fort that protected the bay; so there’s lots to see in the way of historical settings. It’s not a huge display, but worth an hour or so. Climb all over the whole place and you’ll see views to the water too.

    disability pride dance 345x480 Everyone Can Dance 2009 July 25th

    This sounds quirky alright, but it’s also a good cause … and something that sounds like fun. July is Disability Pride Month, which I didn’t know about until today.

    In the true spirit of San Francisco hospitality and acceptance of everyone, everywhere, I decided to post the entire note I got from Lori Guidos, who is also looking for volunteers to help. Give of yourself, and have fun, all at the same time …

    ***** Let’s Dance!!! *****

    In honor of Disability Pride Month, DisabledCommunity.Org is co-sponsoring a dance with other disability and aging focused organizations on Saturday, July 25th from 5-9 pm at the UU Center at 1187 Franklin Street, San Francisco.

    This pride dance is open to people with and without disabilities and is planned as a social action to increase self love and social movement and to decrease alienation and isolation within our community.

    AXIS Dance Company will kick off the dance from 5:30 to 6:30 teaching dance participants new ways of thinking about movement.

    At 6:30 everyone can dance to the musical mixings of Leroy Franklin Moore Jr. of Krip Hop Nation who will be mixing a group of diverse dance music, including music created by artists with disabilities and DJ Reggie Daniels will be spinning them.

    Order a Ticket to the Dance Online $5-25 based on ability to pay

    Go to: http://www.disabledcommunity.org/dance or buy one at the door

    **** If you like this idea and would like to jump on the bandwagon, we need sponsors and volunteers to help this be a successful event! Contact Lori Guidos at admin@disabledcommunity.org or leave a message at 415-707-9680.

  • Gay Pride Mini Parade – 8 Minutes of Silly Fun!

    After the big parade, we all walked down to the Civic Center, where all the food concessions, live entertainment and dancing is set-up. The summer smells of BBQ’d everything was wafting though the air on this fun and sunny day. We had a drink along the way … or two, then make a quick trip through Ferry Village (not to be missed, if you’re up for a bit of live X-Rated stuff … I didn’t post any because most of the naked people are *not* the ones you really want to see naked … as you’ll see in the video here … watch closely, if it’s your thing). Every year, we see the same naked ones and trust me, it’s never pretty, darn it. I wonder how many end up on line and if their mothers or co-workers ever spot them? I just can’t imagine.

    I loved doing this video and love watching it. It’s a real slice of the whole day. You’ll see it all in this 8 minute video – all types, shapes, genders, outfits and more. The music was next to where I was sitting, which added a great little ambiance. I love watching people kind of “half dancing” as they walked by. For more gay pride info: Click Here.
